Case study: ECOWAS in Liberia

A conversation with Prof. Monica Hakimi of the University of Michigan Law School, on how the U.N. Security Council's tacit support for state use of force that would otherwise be unlawful, should be understood as being an "informal regulation" that modifies the standard rules of the jus ad bellum regime. The conversation explores case studies, normative implications of the argument, and whether it is consistent with the rule of law.
